A Tunisian passenger train smashed into a semitrailer truck racing to cross the tracks early Tuesday, killing 18 people as two cars derailed. At least 86 people were injured when the speeding train hit the truck outside the town of Fahs, southwest of the capital, Tunis, the authorities said. The truck’s driver survived after he leapt from the vehicle when the train was barreling toward him. The crossing had a warning sign but lacked guardrails, lights or barriers.
